Thursday's terrific treasures

shive(6b TN)June 12, 2014

It's rained here everyday this week, which will be great for my later blooming daylilies. Unfortunately, the many rounds of rain have washed all my bug spray off the buds, and the thrips are back having a feast on most reds and purples. Here are a few nice ones from this morning.

All are so pretty. I like Destined To See and Bella Sera. The thrips are doing a lot of damage here. I sprayed Neem oil, but like TN. we are getting rain every day. And on top of that I have lost my camera. I bought it last Spring and it was a good one for taking pics of daylilies. Sarah

Bella Sera is beautiful.Mine opened today with twins for the first time this year. I believe the color is better than it was last year (1st year in my garden if I remember right). I was surprised that it looks so good, cool this morning & light rain. I have several that opened this morning that I think look especially good, but I didn't want to take my camera out in the rain. I'll walk out in a little drizzle to see them though :)

Thanks all! Bella Sera was darker colored than it usually is in my garden. I guess because it's cooler than normal here. BS always blooms and reblooms well but has multiplied very slowly here. I've had it six years, and I still only have four fans.
